Curriculum Bulletins

Do you need the “big picture” of what you want your students to know at the end of the semester or school year?

Curriculum bulletins will give you those answers. The Kraus Curriculum Development Library is a collection of curricula from all over the country. Most (1983–2000) are available in microfiche format, but with the 20th edition (2001) the curricula are available full-text online. If the curriculum is not available full-text, the document number of the fiche is provided and can be located in the ECC on the first floor of Rosenthal Library (Room 109B). Fiche reader/printers in the adjoining Media Center are available to take notes and photocopy.

Textbooks

Look at a Teacher’s Edition from the 4th floor Textbook Collection. The big goals will be broken down by grades into thematic units and lesson plans. See the Textbook Subject List for call numbers.

Juvenile Collection

Do you want your thematic unit or lesson plan to incorporate children’s literature?

This 4th floor collection can support a broad range of projects. It is arranged like the public library, using the Dewey Decimal classification of subjects with solid sections of folklore, biographies, poetry, and non-fiction.
